Traditional Karate is rare, our philosophy of self development and respect for others stems from our classical background tracing its routes directly to the Okinawan Karate of Shorin Ryu.

Reiwaryu Ryushinkan Karate-Do is a non profit organisation with the intention that every individual without discrimination should be able to practice and learn this peaceful and dynamic art. Established in the UK since 1983 our school welcomes all members from the age of 5years+.

All our teachers are enhanced DBS checked, insured, NSPCC trained and first aiders.

White Crane Fighting Arts

We are a traditional martial arts club teaching three martial systems, all derived in one way or another from the South Eastern area of Fuzhou in China. Tiger Crane Combination Kung fu System (Hu Hè Shuang Xing Quan) and the White Crane Soft Boxing system (Shuang Yang Bai Hè Rou Ruan Quan) were believed to originated from the southern Quanzhou shaolin Temple.

The Zanshin Wado-ryu Karate club was formed in Oct 2009 by Sensei Oren Teichmann 1st Dan and Sensei Mark Brown 1st Dan.

The club teaches the traditional karate practises of Kata (formal exercise), Kumite (sparring) and Kihon (fundamental techniques) within a framework of fitness, physical and mental flexibility and fun.

Zanshin Wado-ryu is a small, friendly and traditional Wado-ryu Karate club providing a high standard of training and support to students of all ages, starting at 8 years and going up to adult. The club caters for a wide range of ability levels.

The name Wado-ryu has three components - Wa means "harmony", Do means "way" and Ryu means "style". The discipline was founded by Hironori Otsuka (1892 - 1982) 10th Dan who opened his first karate school in 1934, blending Shotokan with Shindo Yoshin-ryu.

The Zanshin club is affiliated to British Wadokai which has foundations that were established in 1976. The Kyu grade syllabus has remained almost unchanged since the first introduction of Wado-ryu into the UK by Suzuki Tatsuo 8th Dan Hanshi in 1964 (this is the basis and foundation of British Wadokai).

When?

Friday 6.15 - 7.15pm - This is a general training session for all grades and ages (8 yrs old and above).
